This isn’t splitting hairs. Bradley wrote that this car was for sale for “less than 1/2" of its original sell price. Then he quoted an MSRP of $92,000. He knew the car sold for roughly $108,000. Why not write that? It would literally be the same number of words. Writing accurately is not hard.

Your words, in the article “...but it cost an astonishing-for-the-time $92,790".

I’m having a hard time not being snarky. If you owned a car and accidently taped the turn signal or over cancelled it I have a hard time not imagining that your would notice it flashes 3 times. That’s how I discovered the feature ten years ago in a fiesta so basic it hard hand crank windows. I was under the…

Welcome to Jalopnink, an automotive enthusaist blog, where you’ll recieve shitloads of shade for loving manual transmissions or loathing invasive tech in cars that don’t add to the driving experience. Also, read this automotive journalist’s article about ‘amazing’ turn signal features that are on just about every car…

Time to just shut Jalopnik down if this is the level of automotive knowledge on staff.  This has been around for decades on most automotive brands.  And self canceling has been on certain motorcycle brands for a couple of decades as well.  This should just be embarrassing.  

Yeah, holy crap. Is this the level of automotive expertise and insight we should come to expect here? To me, this issue is so fucking...basic? What next, a story on wipers that move at different speeds? YOU’RE USING YOUR WIPERS WRONG PEOPLE!

I am trying to figure out if Mr. Rodriguez, an automobile journalist, truly doesn’t know about this ‘genius’ function that exists on blinkers or is he just trolling all of us. For reference, his last article was about the amazing windshield wipers on new Wrangler which have nozzles on the wipers, just like so many…

Seriously? You didn’t know that many cars have this lane change tap function? Shame! As for the self-cancelling signals on a motorcycle, my 1986 Honda VFR had that yet none of my newer bikes (2001,2007, 2012 Hondas, Ducatis and BMWs) did.

This is the result of a recall a few years ago, around ‘18 IIRC. Something about the original design of the dual exhaust on the Sport and Interceptor models allowed exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle through the rear hatch and people were getting sick. Ford’s response was to make those downturned tips the standard…

Ford is famous for this. I added automatic headlights, auto dimming, and auto headlights with the wipers on my 2012 by just buying the proper headlight switch. $20 brand new from Amazon and its a Motorcraft part.

Bonus: double the fuel...FOR FREE!

The way the pavement surface viewed through the windscreen resembles letting down into a city is doing wonderfully disturbing things to my mind, all the more so given that the cockpit is unoccupied.

Well, I’m working in a factory

First:

I’m sorry, but you don’t entirely know what you are talking about. I’m an installer and I also have four years on the design and planning side of residential PV, so let me break it down a little.

I applaud their enthusiasm but I haven’t read anything about transportation being the bottleneck for the vaccination effort. At this point getting the right people at the right time to the vaccine is the real problem.

dude, come on bruh. no self-respecting jalop would ask such a question. here’s a pic for your edumication:

I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!

No thats a max can tell by the cockpit glass and the chevrons on the engines.

Erik’s whole shtick is underinformed sarcasm and negativity. There’s a valid story here about the 737 MAX returning to flying and earning back trust from fliers, but he instead decided to just kind of imply it’s still dangerous.
